Bill and Elliot, of course the pin out cannot be the same; one is an octal base and the other has 9 pins. One has a wider diameter base and thicker pins than the other. Elliot was asking about an adapter that hat I assume would solve those problems. But it’s still a bad idea because the two tubes are electrically very different. Also, he hasn’t even received the preamp yet. Wouldn’t you want to listen first before tube rolling? Filament current draw is not that different between the two and most designs have some flexibility as to current available for the filaments. But the 6922 is apt to draw a lot more plate current than would be good for a 6SN7. Also there are dozens of electrically identical or similar subs for a 6922.

Bill, lewm

thanks to you both for the comments about those adapters, I was, as always, just curious.

Seller just told me it's here in USA, (that damn JFK airport that held my Russian Tonearm when covid started). I'm going on a short trip, of course it will arrive while I'm gone. Neighbor will fetch it for me.
